Akari Light Sculptures stand as timeless icons of modern design, showcasing the artistic brilliance of their creator. Inspired vision, these paper lanterns were initially conceptualized in 1951 and meticulously handcrafted in Gifu, Japan, by the original manufacturer for over half a century. The exquisite blend of Japanese handcraft and modernist form culminates in these enchanting lamps.
Crafted with care, each lamp features handmade washi paper and bamboo ribbing, delicately supported by a sturdy metal frame. The design inspiration originates from Noguchi's fascination with harmoniously merging traditional Japanese craftsmanship with the sleek, minimalist aesthetics of modernism.

Shipping & returns
Washi paper, thin wire, and a warm diffused glow — no hotspots, no glare.
A sculptural piece by day, a quiet layer of ambient light by night. One lantern is often all a room needs.
Shop the SeriesFour reasons these lanterns keep showing up in homes that take lighting seriously.
Washi paper filters light into a warm wash. No harsh hotspots, no cold edges — just gentle ambient light across the whole room.
Every shade is shaped and pressed by hand. Fiber lines, soft folds, and small irregularities you can actually see when it's lit.
Strong silhouette, light visual footprint. Real presence in a room without crowding what's already there.
Warm enough for mid-century, quiet enough for minimalist, soft enough to anchor a modern dining table.
Washi paper is thin, strong, and slightly translucent — which is exactly what a good shade needs. Light passes through the fiber instead of bouncing off it, so the glow lands soft and even. Every shade is hand-shaped over a wire frame, which means no two are identical. The small variations on the surface aren't defects — they're the difference between a handmade lantern and a printed one.
Washi, traditional Japanese paper, is crafted from the inner barks of plants like kozo, mitsumata, and gampi. The process involves carefully stripping, boiling, and pounding the fibers into pulp, which is then spread onto bamboo mesh to form delicate sheets. Known for its strength, translucency, and soft texture, washi has been a vital part of Japanese culture for centuries — seen in origami, lanterns, and sliding doors, embodying the nation's enduring artistry and grace.
These aren't fixtures you hide. They're pieces you place — and every room has a spot that opens up with one of them in it.
Hang a pendant low. The paper warms the room the moment you switch it on — the kind of light people stay under longer.
A floor lantern in the corner replaces the overhead. Walls soften, the room calms, and the last hour of the day feels slower.
Tall beside a chair, low on a side table — ambient light that fills the room without pulling attention away.
Every lantern fills a room differently. See how the light settles in, from first switch to full glow.
"Bought the floor lantern for our bedroom and it completely changed the evening vibe. We never turn the overhead on anymore. Warm, but not yellow — if that makes sense."

"I was looking for a dining pendant that didn't feel cold or too 'designer.' This one actually pulls the table together. Guests always ask where it's from."

"The paper texture is better in person than in photos — you can see the fiber when it's lit. Arrived well-packed and easy to assemble."

I really appreciate the warmth and architectural aspects of this lamp. Its actually my only source of lighting at the moment, so Ive become really attached to it.
This lamp was perfect in my dorm room and looked even better in person! Shipping was way quicker then I expected and it was packaged nicely.
The color was unexpected for me, but white seemed too forgettable. I could say I needed light during dark times, but really I wanted a Noguchi and was emotionally primed to rationalize spending $255.
I chose my orange patterned design because part of Noguchis inspiration for the lamps was to use illuminated paper to create a warm, sunlike glow. I think that effect is particularly resonant with the orange patterning. I placed it on a side table where I can see it right when I open the door.
Absolutely love these lamps! Beautiful quality, friendly seller and lovely ambient light in my lounge room. Thank you soooo much! ??

As a cinematographer, I prefer the lighting in my bedroom to be soft and comfortable. In the film industry, we sometimes use paper lanterns—commonly known as "China balls"—to soften light. This table lamp serves that very same purpose; the light it emits is remarkably soft. It works exceptionally well.

This is a desk lamp with just the right dimensions—perfect for placing on a dressing table. Whenever I want a touch of soft light in the bedroom at night, I simply switch it on. The lamp features an exquisite design and provides ample brightness, yet it takes up absolutely no space.
I purchased this table lamp with the intention of placing it in our upstairs hallway for illumination, and the result is absolutely perfect! When positioned on a surface, it casts a warm, soft glow that feels just right—whether used in the early evening or late at night. The lamp also adds a touch of modern elegance to the space. One feature I particularly love is how it manages to blend seamlessly with our existing home decor while simultaneously standing out as a subtle yet unique accent piece. The lighting is pleasantly soft and balanced; it effectively illuminates the hallway path without ever feeling harsh or overpowering, making it an ideal choice for late-night trips out of bed or simply for creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere. Assembly was incredibly simple, and the lamp boasts solid overall construction and a premium feel. All in all, this lamp strikes a perfect balance between practical functionality and stylish aesthetics—I couldn't be happier with it! If you are looking for a charming, compact lamp suitable for a hallway, bedroom, or bedside table, I highly recommend picking up this one!
Table Lamp is small enough, to fit on almost any table.
I chose the Akari 1A because its both a functional lamp and a sculpture, and these smaller lights are more affordable. The soft glow makes me feel at peace and eases me into dream time. Its like a little glowing orb.
I like how the natural light comes into the space and then mixes with the diffuse light from the paper of the Akari and also the reflection of the light from the Akari onto the glass. The height of the Akari off the surface is quite intimate when you sit working next to it. Its delicate legs and rounded feet give it an animate quality that I enjoy.
